"These are flavors that help translate traditional, delicious candies for modern audiences," said Andrew Schuman, Hammond's president and CEO. "With the extension of our brittle line, we're giving people new reasons to reach for and enjoy the candies they grew up with."

Hammond's introduced its line of gourmet brittles and other nut candies in 2013. The new flavors – which also include Coconut & Spice, Dark Chocolate Drizzle and Cashew Brittle -- join a line-up that includes Toffee Crunch Peanut Brittle, Chocolate Dipped Peanut Brittle and Toffee Crunch Cashew Brittle. The entire line's recipes are inspired by heirloom formulas and are made with high quality ingredients. All are available in Hammond's award-winning packaging that showcases the "specialness" of candy and makes them ideal for gift giving. Brittles are packaged in 9oz re-sealable bags, with a suggested retail price from $3.99 to $4.99.
